The club’s first walk/run for a child in need took place about two years ago, when they raised money for Megan Herbst, who was diagnosed with childhood arthritis.

The following year the club collected funds for Eduan Jansen van Rensburg.
The club is excited to host this annual event, and make a difference in Deidre’s life.
